Welker isn't a difference maker for the Broncos at all, IMO.

Welker is more dangerous, more of a difference maker than any receiver in this league, and the Pats just gave that up on the heels of a Tom Brady restructure so they could keep him.
Now Peyton has the most dangerous slot receiver to ever play the game, in a pass first offense with the most cerebral QB to ever play the game.
If you aren't threatened by that, you're smoking something.
Do you remember what Manning and Stokley did early on? Now Imagine a player 10 times better taking Stokley's role.

I don't think he did. Supposedly they offered him 2 years 10 million, and he walked.

If they can't resign Arrington (who is best utilized in the slot), they are screwed in the post season. As an example, look to the Ravens game in the playoffs when they had to play Arrington outside instead of in the slot on 3W sets.

Well, if you put it that way, its less debatable.
It all depends on what happens with the Patriots slot situation, do they sign Amendola or Edelman? If they sign edelman, they are far less ****ed.
